TIMES UNION BLOG READERS VOTE SAINT ROSE CAPITAL REGION'S #1 CAMPUS

ALBANY (March 24, 2010) -- Readers of a business blog on the Times Union’s website have named The College of Saint Rose as the Capital Region’s best college campus.

In his March 23 “Places & Spaces” blog at Timesunion.com, business reporter Chris Churchill asked readers to vote for the best among eight of the Capital Region’s most prominent college campuses. With more than 17,000 votes cast, Saint Rose finished on top with 6,580 votes, representing 38 percent of the votes cast. The College’s tally easily bested the second-place finisher by more than 1,000 votes. The website closed the voting at 5 p.m. today.

“At Saint Rose, we’re not simply located in New York’s capital city, we are a major part of it. We take great pride in our ability to maintain an outstanding center of higher learning not behind an imposing wall or barrier, but on an campus that seamlessly blends historic old homes and cutting-edge ‘green’ buildings and that’s as much a part of the community as any college can be,” said Saint Rose President Dr. Mark Sullivan.
